For Sale: 1978 Dodge Tradesman in Oxnard, California

Vehicle Description

Offered here is a very exciting find! A 1978 Dodge Tradesman Trans-Van (with just 118k original miles), remaining in remarkable original-factory condition. When was the last time you saw one of these rigs cruising down the Highway?

History:
This very cute and rare Motor Home was built by Champion Home Builders in Dryden Michigan using a Dodge Sportsman Chassis and running gear. However, this was placed on a "dual rear wheel" chassis. The selling dealer was Plaistow Trailer Sales in New Hampshire. Original sales Brochure included as well as all manuals for truck and accessories, A/C, Range, Heating, Refrigerator, Porta Potie, Radio and Cruise Control.
(All of the original brochures and manuals are intact and will come with this sale. Please see photo).

The original owner was Phyllis Bernard. Phyllis was a widower and wanted to travel with her girlfriends. Phyllis and friends made several trips over the 30+ years of her ownership. She was diligent with maintenance and stored the Trans-Van in a heated garage. At 118,000 miles, that relates to just 2,950 miles annually.

What has been done recently?

  • New Brakes including pads, calipers & seals
  • All fluids drained and replaced
  • Newer tires
  • Complete tune-up including the air filter

Please review the invoices for the repairs completed in the photo section.
This Trans-Van runs very well.

The coach is currently on display at The Murphy Automobile Museum in the Vintage Camper and Trailer Exhibit located in Oxnard, California.

Please note: Pride of ownership is evident. This Trans-Van is amazing. All photos posted have not been altered or enhanced in any manner and speak volumes for the fine condition of this vehicle. I believe whoever purchases this time-capsule will be thrilled upon delivery. 

For additional information please phone Dave Henry at 805 705-4924.
